A palindromic number (in case you don't know) is a number which reads the same backwards and forwards (example, 11). The first 15 non-palindromic numbers are: 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26. This is A029742. I constantly need these numbers, but my sticky note pad is very small, so your code must be as short as possible.

Rules

  • Each submission must be a full program or function (e.g. in C, you can't just define a function without headers, but you can define a function WITH necessary headers ).
  • If it is possible, provide a link to a site where your program can be tested.
  • Your program must not write anything to STDERR.
  • You can take input as an argument or from STDIN (or the closest alternative in your language).
  • Programs are scored according to bytes. The usual character set is UTF-8, if you are using another please specify.
  • Standard loopholes are forbidden.

Test Cases

1 ==> 10 ----- 5 ==> 15 ----- 12 ==> 23 

Scoring

This is , so least bytes wins.

Submissions

To make sure that your answer shows up, please start your answer with a headline, using the following Markdown template:

# Language Name, N bytes 

where N is the size of your submission. If you improve your score, you can keep old scores in the headline, by striking them through. For instance:

# Ruby, <s>104</s> <s>101</s> 96 bytes 

If there you want to include multiple numbers in your header (e.g. because your score is the sum of two files or you want to list interpreter flag penalties separately), make sure that the actual score is the last number in the header:

# Perl, 43 + 2 (-p flag) = 45 bytes 

You can also make the language name a link which will then show up in the leaderboard snippet:

# [><>](http://esolangs.org/wiki/Fish), 121 bytes

Here is a Stack Snippet to generate both a regular leaderboard and an overview of winners by language.

PowerShell v2+, 65 bytes

for(;$j-lt$args[0]){if(++$i-ne-join"$i"["$i".length..0]){$j++}}$i 

Loops through numbers from 0 (implicit value for uninitialized $i) until we find input $args[0] many matches, then outputs the last one. Note that we don't initialize the loop, so $j=0 is implicit.

Each iteration, we pre-increment $i, and check if it's not-equal to $i reversed. If so, that means we've found a non-palindrome, so increment $j. The loop then continues as many times as necessary.

Python 2, 60 bytes

f=lambda n,i=0,j=1:j>n and i-1or f(n,i+1,j+(`i`!=`i`[::-1])) 

A one-indexed function that takes input of n via argument and returns the nth non-palindromic number.

How it works

This is an exhaustive recursive search, which consecutively tests integers i in the range [1,∞) until n non-palindromic numbers have been found; since i is pre-incremented, i-1 is then returned. Testing whether a number is palindromic is performed by converting to a string, reversing, and then checking whether the original and reversed strings are equal.

The code is logically equivalent to:

def f(n,test=0,count=1): if count>n: return test elif str(test)!=reversed(str(test)): return f(n,test+1,count+1) else: return f(n,test+1,count) 

which itself is essentially:

def f(n): test=0 count=1 while count<=n: if str(test)!=reversed(str(test)): count+=1 test+=1 return test-1

: f 9 swap 0 do begin 1+ dup 0 over begin 10 /mod >r swap 10 * + r> ?dup 0= until = 0= until loop ; 

Try it online!

Explanation

Loop n times, each iteration finds the next non-palindromic number by incrementing a counter by 1 until the number doesn't equal itself reversed

Ungolfed Code

Normally I wouldn't "ungolf" the code, but since this code is somewhat messy I figured it would help

: reverse ( s -- s ) 0 swap begin 10 /mod >r swap 10 * + r> ?dup 0= until ; : f ( s -- s ) 9 swap 0 0 do begin 1+ dup dup reverse = 0= until loop ; 

Code Explanation

: f \ start a new word definition 9 \ start at 9, since all positive ints < 10 are palindromic swap 0 \ set up loop parameters from 0 to n-1 do \ start a counted loop begin \ start an indefinite loop 1+ dup \ increment counter and place a copy on the stack ( Reverse ) 0 over \ add 0 to the stack (as a buffer) and copy the top counter above it begin \ start another indefinite loop 10 /mod \ get the quotient and remainder of dividing the number by 10 >r \ store the quotient on the return stack swap 10 * \ multiply the current buffer by 10 + \ add the remainder to the buffer r> \ grab the quotient from the return stack ?dup \ duplicate if not equal to 0 0= \ check if equal to 0 until \ end inner indefinite loop if quotient is 0 ( End Reverse ) = 0= \ check if counter =/= reverse-counter until \ end the outer indefinite loop if counter =/= reverse-counter loop \ end the counted loop ; \ end the word definition

Values are 1-indexed. This could be easily changed to 0-indexed by replacing the first R with r. But, R is what I initially typed, so that's what I'm going with.

The nonpalindromic numbers satisfy a(n) ≈ n + 10, so 2n+9 is a sufficient upper bound.

n=>_.Sequence(n,i=>{i=_.From(i+"");if(!i.Reverse().SequenceEqual(i)){return i.Write("")}}).Last() 

Link to lib: https://github.com/mvegh1/Enumerable

Code explanation: Library has static method called Sequence, where first param defines how many elements the sequence will guarantee to create, and the 2nd parameter is a predicate accepting the current iteration value, "i". The predicate converts the integer to a string, which gets converted to a char array by calling _.From. The char array is compared against the reversal of the char array, and if they are not equal the char array is joined back into a string and returned. Otherwise, nothing is returned (i.e the result is undefined, which the library will always ignore). Finally, the last element of the sequence, i.e the Nth element is returned
